I've been on reddit since 2014 and really liked the voting system, as I felt it was a perfect way to discuss on a large scale. However, since then, I've noticed more and more censorships - always the same ideas making it to the top; few downvoted comments because any controversial content would immediately be deleted and its author banned. Obnoxious censoring of even slightly controversial ideas on subreddits that were supposed to be neutral (ELI5, iAmA, AskReddit, worldnews, news...). The obscurity of the voting system was also a big turn-off.
Then I discovered voat. I really like the idea of an open-source, reddit-like platform with no censorship and clear voting. The community, however, really, really seems to despise my kind (Jews). I'm okay with them expressing their ideas, because that's the whole point of this site. But I would like to know if there is any point is investing myself into this community, or if I will always end up being ostracized for what I am.
I value free speech, I'm a Christian, and I'm Jewish. Can we still be friends?

I value valor and honor but Christianism judaism and islamism have noone as a whole. As far as im concerned i evaluate everyone individually. But "Can we still be friends?" is a bad start you wanna make friends you just hangout and people will tell you if they want to or not you dont go around asking that question it makes you look like a child in my eyes. If you seek validation your whole life youll never be free. These 3 religions destroyed europe so right there i already dislike you for your support of it.
